Answer 1

Explanation:

5y + (- 5) = 10

The first mistake made in the image was when they subtracted from an already negative number. You add 5 to both (-5) and 10, which would be 5y = 15, due to the fact that 5 is being multiplied by y, you divide both sides by 5, making 3 the correct answer.

1. 5y + (-5) = 10

2. 5y +5 +5

3. 5y = 15

4. 5y/5 15/5

5. y = 3
